Karen Gravano and Brittany Fogarty Banned from All Big Ang Memorials

February 21, 2016 by tamaratattles 22 Comments

Mob Wives Drita and big ang

While Neil is calling the shots on Big Ang’s memorial service and it seems her mob ties also have a hand in things. According to a New York Daily News source, “It’s a bigger story than just them not going to funeral, as it’s a higher-up mob order from the mafia code of a blood feud. Brit and Karen are being rejected because of the sins of their fathers that ratted out other mobsters.”  Allegedly. The article was brought on by the blond chick’s mom calling the news outlet to let us all know she was also uninvited. It all feels like a publicity grab  by the blond chick’s mother.

“Mob Wives” stars Brittany Fogarty and Karen Gravano were banned from Angela “Big Ang” Raiola’s visitation service on Saturday due to the past actions of their crime boss fathers. The two stars, along with Fogarty’s mother Andrea Giovino, were told not to come to any of Big Ang’s memorial events this week, including Monday’s funeral, because their fathers each infamously cooperated with authorities to turn in other mobsters more than 20 years ago, Giovino tells [email protected]

Big Ang Dr Oz 2

This just reeks of a publicity grab to me. I know I just said I wasn’t going to cover this stuff, but it is kind of maddening that people would take someone’s death and use it as a reason to call up a news outlet to say that they were not welcome. The mother goes on to say that Angela treated Brittany like a daughter. Please. Angela met the kid during filming and was nice to her because that is what Big Ang did.

Also note how “the source” called the blond chick, “Brit.”

I finally mustered the courage to check Drita’s TL there is a photo there of her sobbing in her care after leaving the funeral home. This is all so very sad.

    I didn’t watch the show so I don’t know all the ins and outs of the characters, but even if you’re disinvited to the funeral events for whatever reason why call the news? Just let the family grieve. Publicity whores are disgusting.

    Nothing like taking the death of a beloved person and making it all about yourself.

    This mob shit is stupid. I mean who would ban someone from someone else’s funeral?

    I don’t know. Maybe it IS “appropriate” to ban them? I mean, didn’t Angela have very strong feelings about the “rats”?

    I do think it’s in poor taste, though, to call the “news”.

      She sure did have a thing against rats Cat. She has “omerta” which means “code of silence” tattoed on her neck and she lived by that code. I’m sure there were a lot of wise guys at her memorial. Karen and Brittney didnt need to be there and neither did Brit’s big ass mother.

        Thanks. That’s what I thought. But I only saw the first season, or two. And sometimes, people change.

        If she still felt this way, then I think banning them is right. It’s what she probably would have wanted.

      She went to jail instead of ratting so I would say so!

    KG is persona non grata in a lot of places. This isn’t about anyone but saying goodbye to one of the kindest people on reality tv, wtg blonde chick to make yourself even more unpopular.

    Wow. Good scoop TT. I wondered why I saw Renee, Drita and Carla in photos but no Karen. Some friends of mine paid their respects to Ang and had their phones taken. I don’t blame security . I think it was nice that they allowed fans in at all. A couple other people I know showed up later and they were told it was too late to get in line because they were past the cut off point.

    Ok I don’t watch that show so I’m confused by the reason to be disinvited? Is Neil from a mob family? Why would he care if someone cooperated with authorities?

      Janshell if you read the first part of Tamara’s post again it didn’t come from Neil, it came from Big Ang’s mob ties.

      Karen and Brittney’s fathers were rats and I’m sure quite a few good fella’s were in attendance that were affected by them. FYI – I can’t stand Karen

        KTina, I agree completely. The Code is there for a reason. Karen’s attitude towards her fathers snitching has not helped her.

      Neil cant exactly challenge an order handed down from the bosses. The mob were Ang’s people, her son’s people, her family, her bar. They run things . But Karen showed up today anyway!! She aint scurred.

    Ang always stuck up for Karen with Renee and said ‘you don’t blame the kids’. She wouldn’t have banned anyone 🙁

    Karen Gravano is at the funeral today!!! She must’ve defied the OGs. She looks like she is just waiting for someone to say something to her.

    One name that is not being considered here, Victoria Gotti. She and Angela were friends and she most likely didn’t want to see Karen as well.
